Crunchy Chickpea Snacks

September 10, 2014

Hummus is ho-hum compared to these crispy spiced garbanzos from Saffron Road.

While we typically consume our chickpeas in spreadable form, we love them in other incarnations, too—sprinkled on a salad, stuffed in a wrap, or mashed with simmering spices. But now, our leguminous little friends are taking on a new role: finger food. Saffron Road’s Crunchy Chickpeas are perfect for out-of-the-bag nibbling and come in enticing flavors such as Bombay Spice, Falafel, and Wasabi, each with a respective Eastern-inspired kick. Plus, chickpeas are naturally high in fiber, protein, and iron, so they pack a way cooler nutritional punch than potato chips. Snack on and prosper!
